In light of some magazines pulling scummy things on creators lately, I’m doing a little thread on short story rights. I don't want anybody getting taken advantage of. Also, if you're new, this stuff can be confusing!

Issue 3 is HERE! And we are SO happy to share and celebrate these amazing stories and poems. “The Clay King” by @armori.bsky.social is both creation myth and love poem, bittersweet and beautiful. 👑 Read it here: othersidespec.com/pieces/the-c...

Blurry orange background. White text reads:

"The Clay King" by Arda Mori

I have counted the raindrops which dented you, cut
myself on the poetry collected in your breast

as you trailed your roots over blue-brimmed
steppes—untamed, unafraid of falling.

Happy Banned Books Week AND Anti-Prime Day! We've spent this week fighting with Amazon, who blocked Issue 3... because a stylized illustration of a statue = porn, at least if you're a queer publication. The best way to support us is directly.

SFF, we need to talk. I'm not here to rag specifically on Bona, who did the right thing by going public. No, I'm looking at all of you. Or at least, 15 of you. Because this right here? This is buckwild.

Once we’d picked our hearts off the floor, we started digging: Bella had minimal online presence, first appearing in May 2025. Since then, she’d accumulated a remarkable publication record (we counted 15 published stories in 12 months), across name publishers and small or community-minded outlets, including several paying SFWA rates (like us).

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.
